When I was a kid in the 1970s the Sacramento Zoo did not really have a map, until they put out this poster in the late 1970s. A major error on the map is that the orangutans were where the chimps are shown, and vice versa.
Many of these exhibits have been replaced in the last 50 years, but some remain. The giraffes now also have the space where hippos, elephants, camelids, and wallaroos and emus were. The existing former chimp exhibit was created on the footprint of the gorilla and orangutan grotto and the orangs are where they are shown on this map (although their current exhibit did not exist when this map was drawn, so it may have been someone looking ahead, although it was years after this map that the orang exhibit was built). The gorilla male killed his mate and moved to the LA Zoo a few years after this map. The zoo's hospital is on the footprint of the pheasant and waterfowl areas. There were no hartebeest at the zoo, so that picture is wrong. There were antelope there, eventually Arabian oryx and then bongo. The cheetah exhibit, otter exhibit, and reptile exhibit still exist. The koi pond shown was originally a penguin exhibit.
